You sent it uncompressed?

You sent it uncompressed?

Well, now that it's an uncompressed avi, you can convert it to almost anything.

Download and install the xvid codec, its freeware, and retry your conversion.

There are three methods to compress a large MOV file:

Method one: Convert MOV to H.264 MP4
Method two: Reduce MOV Frame Size
Method three: Decrease MOV Bitrate

A lot of software can do the above three tasks. I'm using one of them named Faasoft MOV Compressor, which can compress mov files through the above three methods. The output quality is also good.
